Pastor Charged With Rape Says ‘Devil Was Inside’ Victims

…Kindred, 61, is accused of sexually abusing the daughters of his son’s girlfriend beginning when they were only six years old. According to a criminal complaint obtained by the Pioneer Press, Kindred, a pastor with One Accord Ministries, told one victim that “the devil was inside her and he could take the demons out of her.”

KARE 11 reports that the alleged abuse “involved fondling, oral stimulation, and rape,” and took place mostly at Kindred’s Maplewood, Minn., home, while the victims, now 14 and 16, stayed over. Kindred is said to have abused the girls for more than a decade…

Reached for comment by the Pioneer Press on Thursday, Kindred denied the allegations and said that the girls’ mother had made them tell “lies” because she was angry with him.
